Menjia Longshan Temple (艋舺龍山寺) is one of the most known temples inside Taipei. It dates from 1738 and was build originally as a worship place for Chinese settlers. During World War II, this site was bombed by Americans thinking it was a Japanese hiding place. However, only months after the end of the war, the Taiwanese rigorously rebuilt the temple.
Now it must be one of the most popular sights to visit next to the Taipei 101 and the Chiang Kai Shek memorial hall.
